A boatmaster course is the logical next step for anyone who has completed a day skipper qualification and is also a great first step for those considering a future in the commercial marine sector.
Boatmaster builds on the day skipper modules in greater detail, expanding on important concepts and bringing in new, more advanced elements to add to your skill-set.
Coastguard Boating Education offer boatmaster courses, which can be completed via home study or in a classroom. There’s even a 15 percent discount for Coastguard national members. Book now at www.boatingeducation.org.nz/courses/2/boatmaster/
Experienced boaties can enrol directly into the boatmaster course – you don’t have to have a day skipper certificate.
Coastguard national membership also gets you (or an immediate family member) $100 off a day skipper course.*
Thanks to this initiative, Coastguard are seeing more boaties with day skipper certificates enjoying themselves on the water.
*$100 off a day skipper course is applicable to new Coastguard national memberships, valid for 12 months from the purchase of the membership. Existing membership renewals are not applicable.
